Tia claims that her lamented mom is a three-thousand-year-old mummy, but is it really an act? Cody sets out to foil a pop psychic, but the shocking result is not what he planned for. And Tiffany’s grandma sees something wild in her future, but is the girl prepared for the powerful shape it will take? Whether the sideshow touts a two-headed rat or a turn-of-the-century American jargo, whether the subject discovers an odd kind of miracle or learns that the real freaks are outside the tent, these stories and graphic tales are by turns humorous and insightful, edgy and eerie, but always compulsively entertaining. 6181178 14 7 2009 Sideshow: Ten Original Tales of Freaks, Illusionists and Other Matters Odd and Magical total:19|5:2|4:10|3:6|2:0|1:1| 19 69 61 8 5 0 false false Mon Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 15:48:26 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 15:49:10 -0700 2009 I really enjoyed reading this collection of short stories, even if some of them were just a touch too "odd" fo...more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 06:13:52 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 06:46:08 -0700 2009 I was beginning to think that I really just don't like young adult short stories collections at all. Of the last two that I have read, one I hated; the other I felt only lukewarm about, and that one (Gothic! Ten Tales of Terror, which was also edited by Deborah Noyes) had stories by some of my all t...
